One day, I had a 3hour break from 10am -1pm, knowing myself, breakfast is a must in this situation. Sadly, no one wanted to have breakfast with me. Guess I look scary eh? I went off to Taman Melawati to have my meal and was done by about 11am. With nothing else to do, I decided to wander off to the hills of Melawati. Off to look for the Klang Gates Dam. Just a day before I found direction to the place, but I've been there before. And all I found was a little recreation park at the bottom of Syabas water works. I asked the guard at Syabas how to I get to view the lake or what route should I take to see the place. He told me there was a path bout 30 meters from the guard house and it takes about 5 minutes to reach the top. 5 minutes isn't a long time for me so off I went. At freaking 11.30am in the morning, that was close to noon already. Sun is up, burning my back as I make way to the top of the hill, following the clear path up and up, I arrived at one of the lower peaks. I could see the Klang Gates Dam, really a nice view, but it wasn't good enough for me so i climbed further up. The path was really steep, at some point almost a vertical drop of 15 meters. dropping down rocks and cliffs with out anyone around wasn't anyones idea of a good time, but heck, i wanted to see more. I reached as far as there was a good view of Klang Gates Dam and took some pictures. There's was quite a breeze up there and unless somebody was looking at the hill with binoculars or something, they would have seen a shirtless guy waving his arms madly. Nice and windy, though the sun was scorching, I didn't feel the burn.
This place is erm...near Kuala Lumpur, dont't know North or South or East or West.
Following are a series of pics i took of the place, enjoy.
